Barn signals start of fall Pharmacy 101: facts to know

by ANNA V. SMITH Journal reporter

A small sign taped to the counter at the Friday Harbor Drug Store explains to customers that “If you have any questions regarding the price of your prescriptions, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

If a customer is looking for a way to potentially pay less for their prescriptions, pay heed to the sign.

Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies each have their own restrictions for payment, in addition to each person having an individualized plan that affects how much a medication costs. According to a Consumer Reports article, some pharmacies are bound by contract to bill the claim through a patient’s insurance company unless the customer asks for a different option, as is the case at Friday Harbor Drug.

Ask the right questions

The class of 2016 painted the barn on Orcas Road. It’s been an tradition for decades but now the senior class decorates a brand new barn on the same property that will last for future generations.

In some cases there are cheaper alternatives to the price of a patient’s medication. According to Cristina DuVall, pharmacy manager at Friday Harbor Drug, pharmacists cannot offer these cheaper options unless a patient

Teresa Mayr has accepted the position of elementary principal for Orcas Island School District.

She is from the Dieringer School District in Lake Tapps, Wash., and has just moved to Orcas Island. Below is a biography from Teresa.

I grew up in Aberdeen on Gray’s Harbor near the central Washington coast. I graduated from Weatherwax High School in Aberdeen, Wash., where I played basketball and was very involved in all school activities.

After earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Washington, Seattle, I returned to Gray’s Harbor to work as the human resource manager, and then the transportation manager, for Mayr Brother’s Logging Company.

I then earned a teaching certificate from the University of Washington, Tacoma. I taught in

the Fife public schools for two years and the Dieringer School District for 14 years.

While teaching, I earned my master’s degree in special education and my administrative credentials from UW Tacoma. I also worked as

the Lake Tapps Elementary interim principal for a year.

My son Donny is 22 years old and my daughter Angie is 19 years old. Angie is currently attending UW in Seattle and is an active member of the Husky Marching Band.

Our family has been season ticket holders of Husky football and Husky men’s basketball for many years. Nothing beats Dawg Saturdays or representing the purple and gold!

In my free time I like to read, garden, take my beagle named Texas on walks, and play with tech toys. I am excited to join the Orcas Island School District team and become a part of island life.

inquires, because limitations put on them by contracts and laws.

Their intent, said DuVall, is to keep pharmacists from being influenced by drug companies and choosing a medication for a patient that might not be the right fit.

“So there has to be a line, then, to show that we’re not swayed by any one company in any way, or have any kickbacks for any particular company,” DuVall said. “And that’s the best way to do it is to be objective and it has to come from the patient’s request. We’re not permitted to offer any incentives or price breaks for patients unless they request them.”

But DuVall says that they do automatically run a geriatric discount for patients over 65 that takes 10 percent off. Sometimes, though DuVall says rarely, paying cash or credit for medication can be cheaper than a person’s copay on their insurance.

One discount that can be available for patients depending on the drug are manufacturer coupons that come directly from a drug company’s website that offer discounts.

SHFH and the Exchange: Newsweek ranks Orcas a working partnership School #206 nationally The following was submitted by Skagit Habitat for Humanity.

Over the past 18 months, during which time the Exchange has been out of operation, the store truck from Skagit Habitat for Humanity has filled in to accept recyclable donations from Orcas Islanders. The working partnership evolved out of coincidence, but has been beneficial to both parties. Habitat has always coordinated with Pete Moe, and has come at his invitation. The handshake agreement we have is that when the Exchange is able to start accepting donations, the Habitat truck will only come when it is needed.

“We are thrilled that Habitat has been able to help fill the gap while we rebuild the Exchange,” said Pete Moe, ORS/Exchange executive director. "Zero waste is our mission, and it doesn't matter how we get there, or who takes the stuff. As long as it doesn't end up in the landfill, we are for it 100 percent!"

Teresa Pugh, SHFH's Executive Director added, “Skagit Habitat for Humanity had another successful visit to Orcas Island on Aug. 17. We appreciate the partnership with the Orcas Recycling Services/Exchange during their time of transition. Our organizations share the same mission of “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle,” while helping out individuals and families in our communities. All donations of materials have been saved out of the landfills and will be reused to provide affordable options for others, as well as funds to build affordable housing for low income families. Thank you to Pete Moe and Jim Duffield for continuing to organize these trips, the community for donating and believing in the Exchange program, as well as all of the volunteers who have provided help during these trips.”

The Newsweek High School Rankings assess schools based on a broad range of data to determine which institutions do the best job of preparing students for college.

Orcas Island School District came in at #206 in the nation. Its graduation rate is 100 percent and 91 percent of students are college-bound.

For the full list, go to http://www.newsweek.com/high-schools/americas-top-highschools-2015#.VdZydMVbvto.email.

Low income housing grants due Sept. 30 San Juan County will award grants and loans totaling up to $20,000 in 2015 for projects that help make housing available to local residents of very low income.

The Low Income Housing Fund, created by the state Legislature in 2002, is funded by a surcharge on documents recorded by the county auditor’s office. Funds may be used for construction, operation or maintenance of projects that serve families or individuals earning less than 50 percent of the area’s median income. For a family of four, 50 percent of median income in San Juan County is $33,100.

Funding is available to nonprofits and developers, either as grants or loans for eligible projects in San Juan County. Funding is not available for individual home purchases, or home remodel or rehabilitation.

The county allocates 5 percent of its low-income housing funds directly to the Town of Friday Harbor and 5 percent into a reserve account as well. The funds are administered by the county Housing Bank Commission.

The deadline to apply for funding is Sept. 30. Visit the County's website at SanJuanCo. com or contact Melanie Rollins, affordable housing coordinator, for application forms or more information; phone 370-7526 or email melanier@sanjuanco.com.

As the weather on Orcas Island turns towards fall, animals and birds begin to take their cues and start their migrations. Different birds, insects, and mammals are showing up again on the islands after spending the summer months in Canada and Alaska. One creature that is starting to return to the San Juan Islands is the Steller sea lion.

The Steller sea lion is a large pinniped (a fancy word for the seal family) that frequents the North Pacific. Steller sea lions are one of the largest pinnipeds, only smaller than elephant seals and walruses. The sea lions grow to be up to 10 feet long and weigh as much as 2500 pounds when mature.

The Steller sea lion is named after Georg Wilhelm Steller. Steller discovered at least eight species during his voyages around the Bering Sea (during which he found himself shipwrecked because the entire crew of his ship died from scurvy).

Two of those species are now extinct and the overall Steller sea lion population is considered ‘Near Threatened’ by the IUCN, with the western population considered ‘Endangered’ due to unexplained population declines. Scientists speculate several reasons for these population declines, including overfishing of fatty fish stocks (like herring). The general opinion is that the situation is too complex to have one cause. Populations on the Pacific Coast of the US seem to be stable though, and these impressive mammals are already returning to our shores to feed and spend their winters in warmer waters.

Editorial

To the Why local pharmacies Editor:

are important

I

’ve been passionate about pharmacies for a long time.

Strange choice, you say? I think not. What could be more important than personalized, attentive health care?

The beginnings of the pharmacy are ancient. According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, when the first person expressed juice from a succulent leaf to apply to a wound, it was being practiced.

A brief history In ancient Greece and Rome and during the Middle Ages in Europe, the art of healing recognized a separation between the duties of the physician and those of the herbalist, who supplied the physician with the raw materials to make medicines. The Arabian influence in Europe during the 8th Century AD brought the practice of separate duties for the pharFor a macist and physician. In America, Benjamin ‘Pharmacy 101’ Franklin took a pivotal step in keeping the two professions separate when he appointed story, go to an apothecary to the Pennsylvania Hospital. page 1.

Today, the pharmacist continues to fulfill the prescriber’s intentions by providing advice and information; by formulating, storing and providing correct dosage forms; and by assuring the quality of medicinal products.

My family and I have filled our prescriptions at local pharmacies for as long we’ve lived here. The attention to detail I have experienced is unlike anything you will receive from online pharmacy companies.

Across the country, rural pharmacies are shutting down because of customers using mail-order companies for their prescriptions. We cannot let this happen in our county. Living on an island makes it so important to maintain the vital services we need for everyday life.

Having a local pharmacy is good for your healthcare, good for the economy and good for the community.

Around 15 years ago insurance companies started offering mailorder pharmacies in order to generate higher profits. While this is sometimes cheaper and more convenient for the customer, it is devastating to small town pharmacies. It’s also important for customers to purchase items off the shelves like vitamins, bandages, etc. Contrary to popular belief, the net profit from pharmaceuticals alone is not high.

For me, it is more important to know your pharmacist and trust they are looking closely at your medical history than it is to save a few dollars. So next time you need to fill a prescription or buy a toothbrush, please consider what it would be like if we did not have locally run pharmacies.

Thank you from the Habitat Truck Wow! What a response from Orcas Islanders on Monday, Aug. 17. The Skagit Habitat for Humanity Store truck was invited back to Orcas to accept donations that could be recycled for use by someone else. We had donors lined up at the Island Market, and when the truck was full, we had to turn some donors away, and for that we apologize. We promise to be back again, probably in late October.

We’ll pass on details when we have them.

On behalf of Carol Hagen, our volunteer driver of the truck for this visit, and myself as the Orcas point of contact, we especially want to thank some fine islanders who helped us process donors and load the truck.

Rita Bailey coordinated some helpers, which included her family members Julia, Christian, and Sabrina. They even brought along a friend, Matthew Laslo-White, and he even worked on his birthday.

We could not have gotten so much stuff into the truck without the help of “Mr. Carter” or Phil, who did a masterful job of fitting things into every nook and cranny.

Lastly, we want to thank Ron Herman, who not only donated furniture, but let himself be talked into moving lots of items into a temporary storage unit until “next time.” We sincerely thank these folks, and all the donors whom we met. We look forward to seeing you again.

Jim Duffield Habitat Truck

Thank you, Orcas Island neighbors Maureen and I thank you for

welcoming the many guests who came to the island for our annual Doe Bay Fest earlier this month. We apologize for any impacts on ferry schedules, traffic or other areas. We work really hard to anticipate issues and to prevent problems; to mitigate impacts and to create a magical experience. One of the many comments we hear from our guests is that the people on Orcas are the friendliest they have encountered.

Of course, we also hear about how lucky we are to live in such a paradise. Agreed.

The high point of the festival for me was the special toast we had from the main stage on Saturday afternoon. We provided the champagne, and I got the opportunity to toast our neighbors and especially one neighbor in particular, Robin DiGeorgio. She sadly died shortly before Doe Bay Fest at age 73, and we toasted her with 73 glasses of champagne raised in her honor.

Robin was a big supporter of Doe Bay Fest. Her field is one of the

most sought-after spots for people to stay during the Doe Bay Fest weekend. She always wrote a personal letter welcoming each of the guests in her field. It was poignant to include that letter this year to the guests she invited to camp in her field. She was feisty and sweet. We will miss her.

Doe Bay Fest is a unique event, thanks in part to the incredible surroundings and island hospitality. If you are at the Doe Bay Café, please introduce yourself to me or Maureen and let us thank you in person for your understanding and accommodation.

Joe and Maureen Brotherton Owners, Doe Bay Resort

Correction The obituary for Clyde Roy Boede left out one of his surviving family members: sister Eleanor (James) Waschke of Bellingham. We apologize for the oversight.

Island 4-H kids Optimism is do well at the fair vital as we age

by LIZ TALOR

by D. N. KINSEY 4-H Leader

More than 6 million young people across the United States are in 4-H clubs. Orcas Island has more than 50 members enrolled in 4-H with most of them demonstrating a year’s worth of work at the San Juan County Fair.

The work that the members and the volunteers do has a positive impact on the local community, so many thanks are in order to the San Juan County Fair Board and Staff, 4-H Leaders, the families, WSU Extension and our feed sponsors, Island Hardware and Supply.

This year Orcas 4-Hers won several awards in showing and judging contests. Here is a sampling of the project areas: Will Stephens brought Dweedin the Blue Cochin chicken and Mokey the cavy. He got blues in showmanship and the Grand Champion in cavy showmanship. He also got the trophy for outstanding achievement in rabbit/cavy.

Joe Stephens had Ticken the Chicken, a partridge cochin or a brahma cross plus pumpkin the cavy. He is a primary 4-H member (five years to third grade) so he received rainbow ribbons.

Lindsey Simpson showed her rabbit Indy. Results were a first place for breed, a first place for showmanship and a grand champion for rabbit/cavy judging for the intermediate age group.

Emalyne Babcock brought her rabbit, a French angora named Midnight and won grand champion for rabbit showmanship and rabbit/cavy judging for the junior age group.

Moose Kinsey brought his rabbit Blacktail Bonnie, an Orcas wild, and his chickens Grey Ghost the flytie rooster and Fluffy the silkie. He was awarded a reserve champion for rabbit showmanship and an award of merit for the rooster while Fluffy the hen received best of class.

Anwyn Thompson, Kinsey and Tashi Litch all participated in the San Juan

County demonstration contest taking grand and reserve grand champion awards.

Thompson, Lael Watson, Kinsey, Tashi Litch and Kaj Litch played instruments and sang during the 4-H Performing Arts Contest with Tashi and Kaj earning grand and reserve champion awards.

Many of the 4-H members also showed other livestock or horses during the fair week, including alpacas.

Orcas Island 4-H Club Fur and Feathers has an alpaca club, thanks to the help of Orcas Moon Alpacas. The alpaca barn along with youth demonstrations of showmanship and obstacle classes were a hit.

The Orcas Island Trailblazers Horse 4-H club won numerous awards this year for showmanship and riding classes plus herdsmanship. Pictured above are the Orcas, Lopez and San Juan horse-riders who have qualified to participate at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup this September.

A huge thanks is also in order for those folks who supported the livestock auction. Several Orcas based businesses such as Rose’s and the Lum Farm bid on project animals.

In 2014 Orcas Island 4-H received a grant from the Orcas Island Community Foundation to purchase educational materials for poultry, sheep, dog, rabbit and horse projects. Our 4-H members and leaders were able to utilize and study the materials before competing at the 2015 San Juan County Fair – the Ohio State learning kits have helped everyone learn more about their projects and it made for success at the fair.

ICYMI research has proven that participation in 4-H has a significant positive impact on young people. In San Juan County, the 4-H clubs always welcome more participants as both members (anyone aged five through 19) and volunteer youth leaders.

I met a delightful man some years ago whose optimism in the face of adversity was inspiring. He attended a workshop on memory loss that I facilitated, then volunteered for a quick memory test afterward. He almost flunked. It seems he was taking an experimental drug for glaucoma, which affected his short-term memory. “I can’t decide which is worse,” he joked, “to be blind or lose my mind.”

Despite his bad luck, everything about this man inspired a smile – his own smile, as a starter, plus his spunk and optimism. He matter-of-factly told me about other health challenges, including recovering from alcohol addiction. He radiated a positive vibrancy and told me that life was good. “The only way to be,” he said, “is optimistic. Life’s too difficult otherwise.”

I’ve often thought about the truth this man lived – that the secret of successful aging is attitude, rather than circumstances. It’s the age-old conundrum: is the glass half-empty or half-full? We focus on what we lack, but we can live more positively by celebrating what we have.

My favorite fortune cookie puts it this way: “Things usually turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.”

A well-known study supports this. In his excellent book, “Aging With Grace: What the Nun Study Teaches Us about Leading Longer, Healthier, and More Meaningful Lives,” David Snowdon, Ph.D, wrote about his research into the early lives of 678 nuns for clues to predict who in later life would develop Alzheimer’s disease.

About a fourth of the nuns had written autobiographies in their early 20s. When Snowdon examined these essays for key words such as “happy,” “joy,” “love,” “hopeful” and “content,” he discovered that the nuns who had expressed more positive emotions lived as much as 10 years longer than those who did not.

Though the study sample is too small to be conclusive, it suggests that decades of negative thinking – like anxiety, hatred and anger – have a cumulative effect that may actually make us susceptible to poor health. Because it feels better to be happy, the body seems to thrive when people enjoy life, despite their burdens.

Sugar doesn’t run through my veins, and I’m no Pollyanna. I believe firmly in expressing anger, sadness or unhappiness when the situation warrants.

However, I think we tend to grow unnecessarily pessimistic with age. The longer we live, the more lumps we absorb (some people more than others is the unfair truth). After 50 or 80 years, our worldview is often tainted by cynicism.

There’s much truth in the adage, “Our personalities don’t change as we grow older; we just get ‘more so.’”

Rewiring our brains to be more positive can be hard.

Try this for a while: count your blessings at least once a day, especially if you feel cranky. Smile rather than frown when your face is idle. And of course, focus on the good rather than the bad. With frequent, consistent application, optimism may creep ever so slowly back into your brain, sending you new signals about life – and maybe a longer time to enjoy it.

Why Heirlooms?

Heirloom plants are most often thought of as old-time varieties of vegetables that come true from seed. That means that they’re open-pollinated, so (assuming you don’t plant other cultivars that could cross-pollinate nearby) you can save seed from your plants every year for the following year’s garden. In addition to wonderful heirloom vegetables, most cottage-garden flowers and herbs fall in this category, too.

Of course, many plants have been lovingly passed down through the generations as cuttings, and even the hybrids that replaced most open-pollinated plants in commerce now boast some old “heirloom” cultivars of their own. But usually, “open-pollinated” continues to be the hallmark of herbaceous heirloom plants.

Some heirlooms have been sold and passed down in families or communities for hundreds of years; others date just to the early 1900s. What they all have in common is that backyard gardeners have prized them for their beauty, flavor, fragrance, or productivity. Because home gardeners thought highly enough of these plants to save seed from them year after year, we can still enjoy them today.

Characteristics Heirloom fruits and vegetables are often not suited to large-scale production. Many types don’t ripen all at once so they can’t be harvested mechanically. They often don’t keep well during shipping and storage and many of them don’t have a consistent appearance. They may even look a little odd, like some of the warty-skinned melons or striped green tomatoes.

But heirlooms are often ideal for home gardeners and regional producers. Many heirloom crops have a more pleasing taste and texture than their hybrid replacements, and many spread their harvest over a longer period so families can enjoy picking just what they need for each day’s meals rather than having to harvest a bumper crop all at once. If grown for years in one locality, the heirlooms have adapted to the climate and soil conditions of that area and may outproduce modern cultivars. Others may be less productive than today’s hybrids, but offer greater disease and insect resistance, which is invaluable to organic gardeners. Heirloom plants also add interest to garden and table, with a wide range of shapes, colors, and tastes unavailable in modern cultivars.

Heirloom plants are also a tangible connection with the past. Some heirloom cultivars have fascinating histories.

‘Mostoller Wild Goose’ bean, said to have been collected from the craw of a goose shot in 1864 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, was once grown by Cornplanter Indians.

‘Hopi Pale Grey’ squash is a Pueblo Indian legacy that was almost lost to cultivation, and remains one of the most sought-after winter squashes. ‘Anasazi’ corn, found in a Utah cave, is thought to be more than 800 years old. And many gardeners have heard the story of ‘Radiator Charley’s Mortgage Lifter’ tomato, a huge, meaty cultivar that helped its discoverer, an unemployed mechanic, pay off his mortgage during the Depression.

Cultivars like these are eagerly sought by both gardeners and collectors, who maintain them for their historic value just as archivists maintain old papers and books.

Genetic Diversity As fewer seed companies remain in existence and those that survive offer a dwindling number of cultivars, there’s an even more vital reason for growing old cultivars: These open-pollinated heirloom plants represent a vast and diverse pool of genetic characteristics—one that will be lost forever if these plants are allowed to become extinct. Even cultivars that seem inferior to us today may carry a gene that will prove invaluable in the future. One may contain a valuable but yet undiscovered substance that could be used in medicine.

Response to Supreme Court’s school decision

by TONY GHAZEL

Orcas Island School Board

The Washington Supreme Court continues to be dissatisfied with the Legislature’s continual failure to comply with the court’s order to have a complete plan to fully fund education by 2018. The court, a few days ago, imposed a $100,000 fine for every day the legislature fails to deliver a complete plan to meet its funding guidelines and timelines, as enacted in ESHB 2261/SHB 2776.

The fine will be deposited in a “segregated account for the benefit of basic education.” Here is some background: in 2009 the legislature passed bill ESHB 2261 which is a massive education reform bill that redefines the state’s “Program of Basic Education” and the funding amounts and methods needed to fully support it. Full implementation of the bill must be completed by 2018. The second bill, passed in 2010, is SHB 2776, which updated the 2009 bill and added a new formula for the allocation of general apportionment moneys to school districts and specified the cost of such a massive bill.

At the heart of the issue here is that the McCleary family, in 2012, sued the state alleging that the state is not properly funding education and cited the state’s constitution, Article 9 Section 1, which clearly

says that the state’s paramount duty is to amply fund the education of every child in the state of Washington. The hearing court agreed, and eventually the state’s Supreme Court heard the case and issued a ruling in January 2014 that the state Legislature failed on all counts.

I and many have applauded the court for their ruling and for further willing to “retain jurisdiction” over the case. After the first bill was passed in 2009, the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Legislative sessions came and passed with no considerable funding progress by the legislature compounding more than 30 years of neglect of their constitutional duty.

Fast forward to 2015 where the state Legislature just completed its $38 billion biennium budget. This enabled all 295 school districts in the state to adopt their 2015-2016 school year operating budgets by the end of July as mandated by law. In this budget cycle we found a realistic increase in education funding which represented a larger increase than at any time in the previous 30 years.

While crediting the Legislature for the progress so far, the court, unfortunately, did not think that this was enough.

As a school board director I am concerned that we still don’t have ample edu-

cation funding, but thankful that the court “retained jurisdiction” and is active in the case. I also applaud the Legislature for enhancing education funding last year and again in the current 2015-2016 biennium budget. After a 17-day 2015 legislative session, the longest in history, including three special sessions, it is clear that the task is huge and possibly needs enhanced revenue.

So for now, I prefer that our OISD adopted budget remains intact, that when our children return back to school on Sept. 2 they can expect robust educational and extracurricular programs and that we can retain all of our faculty and staff in order to offer these programs.

We have employment contracts in place, classes assigned and children to teach. I would suggest that the court keep the pressure on and that the legislature, sooner than later, continue working and moving us forward in the matter of amply funding basic education.

Our students and staff can’t wait any longer.

PHARMACY FROM 1 These are for brand-name drugs that don’t have any cheaper generic forms, but sometimes can’t work in conjunction with Medicare and Medicaid insurance plans.

“Unfortunately,” Duvall said. “Those are the people who would really benefit from them.”

“We can’t automatically apply those,” added Noah Atchley, lead technician at Friday Harbor Drug. “They have to ask for more information on why it’s expensive.”

Patients who go looking for the manufacturer coupons should never enter their phone number or personal information, since those coupons are scams to get money from the pharmacy or the patient. Instead, only take coupons directly from the drug companies website, or, when in doubt, contact the company or a pharmacist.

The donut hole One unexpected trip-up that those with Medicare Part D may find when trying to figure out their insurance is the donut hole.

The donut hole is a coverage gap that can occur when a person reaches a certain limit to coverage.

That amount changes year to year. When the person is “in” the donut hole, they have to pay directly until they meet their deductible and get “out” of the donut hole and are covered by Medicare again.

“A lot of people don’t know about this, or when that’s going to happen, because they don’t know

how much they’ve spent so far,” DuVall said. “Or they have an unforeseen expense that puts them into the donut hole and they haven’t been there before, or they started a new plan and don’t know the details of that plan.”

Atchley said in his experience out-of-pocket expenses can range from $2,000 to $4,000 before they are covered again, and that it varies depending on a person’s plan, how much they pay monthly and who is on the plan.

According to DuVall patients may pay a higher premium to lower their copays and extend out when the donut hole will occur.

“This type of plan is best for someone who has maintenance medication and can plan how much to pay,” DuVall said. “But those who qualify for Medicare part D are often 65 or older or disabled in some way.

They don’t often know what the future will hold. They may have a heart attack this year and you can’t plan for that. It’s really unfortunately a disservice to our elderly population.”

Run for the money Paying cash or credit for generic medication can be cheaper than copay depending on a person’s insurance plan, though DuVall pointed out that for those “in” the donut hole should continue to bill toward their insurance, or else it will take longer to get “out” of the donut hole.

The stipulations for paying cash are more rigid in Medicaid plans.

“There is a law stating that they cannot pay cash unless all the appropriate channels have been

gone through and denied,” Atchley said. “There is a form that is very specific that details every drug that they are paying for out of pocket so the state knows that we’re doing everything we can to make the state pay for it, and only when all of those options have been exhausted and it’s still not covered, that’s when the patient can pay cash for it.”

DuVall said that patients can always ask if the pharmacists can run the order as cash or run the order through insurance to see which one is cheaper, although that takes time that people often don’t have.

Insurance plans can shift, drug prices change day to day and coverage can be thoroughly confusing for patients who don’t understand their plan or formulary for what drugs are covered. And, since doctors don’t keep tabs on the price of drugs, they can often prescribe expensive brand names, or a drug that isn’t yet covered by a person’s formulary.

When that happens, pharmacists step in to either get a generic brand medication or get a prior authorization to get the drug covered, which takes time.

“I don’t know how to delicately put this, but a lot of time when people come up to the counter and they don’t see anybody in line, they just assume that it’s just count, pour and stick,” DuVall said. “There is a lot of behind-the-scenes thinking that goes with every prescription, and so it’s not just a matter of just grabbing a bottle off the shelf and putting a label on it.”

Obituaries Clarke Lee Palmer Clarke Lee Palmer, 70, set sail from Whidbey Island Aug. 2, 2015.

A man larger than life, Clarke touched people wherever he went. Raised at Far-A-Way in Longbranch, Wash., Clarke was well loved by many during his years on Orcas Island and more recently in Palm Springs.

Clarke is survived by his loving sidekick Karla Calhoun; son Tim (Beth); daughter Oona (Jamey); son Blair (Amelia); and

daughter Lee. Clarke leaves six special grandchildren:

Ronald William Harvey Ronald William Harvey, long-time resident of Orcas Island, Wash., passed away on Aug. 11, 2015.

He was born on July 14, 1946, to Jack and Verna Harvey, in Dallas, Texas.

They moved to Balboa Peninsula, Calif. when Ron was two years old. He lived in Newport Beach, Calif., where he found a love for the outdoors: everything from riding his bike, swimming and golfing.

In 1981, he married his wife, Sharon Harvey. They moved to Orcas Island in 1983 where Sharon’s family has had history since 1896.

As soon as Ron arrived on Orcas he knew it was home.

Ron worked as a plumbing contractor for Harold Johnson (Johnny) and Bob Irwin before starting his own plumbing company called Harvey’s Plumbing in 1988.

After being blessed with

six children, they bought a home on five acres and he began dedicating his life to care for his family. The “island life” he loved, and was honored to live in such a beautiful place.

Telling stories about his life growing up he did often and cherished watching his children grow up.

He coached for the Special Olympics and treasured being part of constructing magnificent homes throughout the islands.

Ron is preceded in

Special thanks to Don, Edna and Anna Martin and Mark Dafoe, for their unwavering love and support in recent months.

death by his parents, his son Jeffery Scott Harvey; daughter Christa Belle Harvey; Brothers Jack Russell Harvey and James Briggs; father-in-law Sherman Hedge.

He is survived by his wife Sharon Harvey and his four children: Benjamin Harvey, Kathryn Harvey, Lisa Marie Harvey and Tyler Jonathan Harvey. His sister Virginia and her husband Christopher Pawlik; sister-in-law Diane Harvey; mother-in-law Betty Auld Hedge; sister-in-law Traci and her husband David Snaring, brother-in-law Scott Hedge; Sherman and Ann Hedge; nieces and nephews Christopher and Lauren Pawlik; Chanel and Shan Harvey; Caitlin and Carl Snaring; Janie and Devin Hedge.

Ron’s warm heart and unconditional love will be loved and missed by all of us.

Robin Elizabeth Phillippi DiGeorgio passed away at Island Hospital in the early hours of July 23, 2015, with her dear friend Keri Stone by her side. Robin was born April 12th, 1942, in Evanston, Ill. Her father, Peter DiGeorge Phillippi, was an advertising designer in New York City and Connecticut. Her mother, Barbara Mary Schroyer Phillippi, was a weaver. It was a bohemian household.

Robin’s alternative upbringing created fertile ground for her time as an art student at the University of Cincinnati, as a songwriter in the San Francisco music scene and pioneer spirit in the back-to-the-land movement of the 1970s.

As a young woman, Robin was briefly married to Jeff Olson. She lived for a short while in Canada and Minnesota, then moved out west to San Francisco. There, she wrote songs and sang on the streets and in coffee houses and ran a business trucking organic vegetables into the city. In the mid 70s, she spent time in Guerneville, CA, before heading north to Orcas Island. Her first island home was a tepee in Dolphin Bay. Later she built a small octagonal cabin on Tom Lavender’s farm where she raised chickens and grew the first of many fine vegetable gardens. Robin once panned for gold in Alaska. After that, she lived in downtown Olga, then bought her beloved home in Doe Bay where she lived for the rest of her life.

She wore many hats during her working years on Orcas: a landscaper/gardener; caregiver/hospice worker; dishwasher at Bilbo’s; and proprietor of her own business, Zebra Graphics.

Never one to sit idle, while recuperating from an inju-

ry, Robin worked in pen and ink to create an exquisite collection of botanical drawings. And during a cold winter in Doe Bay she developed her “Pioneer Series” of cards – wonderful old-time recipes framed in vintage quilt patterns with short biographies honoring a past generation of island women. Robin was a veritable “cat whisperer,” caring for, loving and taming many cats over the course of her lifetime.

Robin loved the Orcas Island community and volunteered her services to many groups, including the Orcas Center, OPAL, the Historical Society and the Doe Bay Community Association. She was a proud and cherished member of the Madrona Club for 19 years, 10 of which she

served as president.

Robin was truly fearless in her life and always open to new thought and adventure. Her loyal friendship, deep wisdom, creative energy and joyful laugh will live on in us, the lucky friends and neighbors who were so very fortunate to know and love her. Robin’s sense of adventure followed her into the last hours of her life: when asked if she was afraid, she replied, “No, I’m curious.”

She is survived by her sister, Elsa Louise Phillippi Cline; her niece, Rachel Elizabeth Cline Capps (Cory Capps); and Rachel’s children, Zachary Ronan and Harper Lucille.

A memorial is being planned and will be announced at a later date.

Donations in remembrance of Robin can be made to the Madrona Club Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 361 Eastsound, WA 98245, the Orcas Island Animal Shelter, 848 Hope Lane, Eastsound, WA 98245, or to a charity of your choice.

Art for everyone: $5 tickets are now available at Orcas Center

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

Kara O’Toole wants everyone to enjoy Orcas Center, regardless of their ability to pay.

“As an arts lover, it always hurt my heart to hear from people: ‘I would love to

come but I can’t afford it,’” said O’Toole, who is the executive director.

Thanks to a grant from the Orcas Island Community Foundation, 20 seats for every Orcas Center-produced show will be available for $5. The new program is starting with the

April Verch show on Sept.

18. Subsidized ticket prices only apply to shows that are presented by the center – not events produced by community groups like benefit concerts or festivals.

O’Toole says in the past they have worked with the Funhouse Commons and Orcas Senior Center to help families and seniors with less expensive tickets through a voucher program.

Now there aren’t any

qualifications other than coming to the box office in person and securing a ticket, which are on a firstcome, first-serve basis. The discounted seats cannot be purchased online or by phone.

“It means a lot to us to be able to offer this to the community,” said O’Toole.

“We want to reduce any barriers for community members not coming to Orcas Center.”

Calendar Girls A play about friendship, fame and beauty

by MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH and COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG

I

Staff report

t’s all about girl power.

A group of island women are starring in an Actors Theatre production of “Calendar Girls” at the Grange.

“It’s about appreciating the beauty of people at every age, and it’s about the power of friendship,” says actress Melinda Milligan.

“Calendar Girls” will open on Friday, Sept. 11 and run for three weekends. Tickets are $10 at Darvill’s Bookstore, online at www.orcasactors. com or at the door.

“Calendar Girls” ran at the Chichester Theatre Festival and became the fastest selling play in British theatre history.

The play is based closely on the film of the same name and sports a cast of 10 women and four men.

When Annie (played by Suzanne Gropper) loses her husband John to

leukemia, she and best friend Chris (Bev Leyman) resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade their friends to pose nude with them for an “alternative” calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence (Kelly Toombs).

The news of the women’s charitable venture spreads, and the press soon descends on the small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie’s friendship is put to the test under the strain of their fame.

“This play means a lot to us because it tells a real story,” Leyman said. “We struggle with real people’s problems, like how to maintain relationships, or defining what it means to be a friend.”

The actresses visited an all-nude Korean spa in Lynnwood together before beginning rehearsals for the show, and said the experience fos-

tered an appreciation for beauty of the human body in all its various renditions. The women have also created a calendar that will be for sale.

Alisa Chauhan, visiting this summer from the London area, has served as the cast’s accent coach.

Bailey Sande, at 23, is the youngest cast member. She says the play is spicy and feisty; she’s been struck by the number of major issues addressed in the play, including age, sickness and defying racism.

“I’m enjoying the transcendental experience of defying the idea that ‘age is beauty’,” she said. “The play is chock full of really beautiful, enlightening perspectives; the show has depth and a lot to walk away with.”

Every cast member said they were astounded at the close, affectionate bonds that have grown among the cast members.

“This cast is amazing,” raves Holly King. “The play is cutting edge, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. I love the humor and the enthusiasm. We are all in, and the best part is, I get to have a tattoo ... God bless all the husbands,

because they found out we were going nude after the fact.”

Adds Sande: “There’s no nakedness; just a tastefully done suggestion of nudity.”

Lesley Liddle said, “It’s a giant stretch, as a person who is quite modest … and the last time in my life I will stretch in such a way. I was quite hesitant [to take part in the play], but I didn’t want to miss out on the camaraderie. It’s discreet. We are making every attempt to be artistically discreet. It’s stretching everybody in happy ways.”

For Gropper, what stands out is the play’s tenderness.

“The cast ranges in ages from 23 to 80,” she said. “It is joyous to interact with women who have lots of experience and who have very little. They are lovely to work with and we all feed off each other. There is a lot of laughter and silliness in the show, but underneath it all, there is a connection we have with each other that really shines.”

Orcas residents Kathryn Aspinall, age 11, and Ray Clever, age 70 (pictured above), had promised supporters to swim at least 10 miles to support relief efforts for Langtang Village in Nepal. The village was devastated in the recent earthquake, and 350 of the 500 villagers perished.

The local Buddhist community has a tie to this village through visiting monk, Kentrul Rinpoche, and all donations will go directly toward rebuilding this village. Sharon Douglas at the Orcas Athletic Center is coordinating the collection of donations. She welcomes any further contributions and warmly thanks those who have already supported Aspinall’s and Clever’s swim and the Nepal relief effort. They completed their swim of 21,000 yards (11.931 miles) in just over seven hours in the center’s pool. Not bad for an 11-year-old girl with excellent coaching/mentoring/ training and a less than hydrodynamic-shaped 70-year-old water guy.

Advanced racing clinic held in West Sound

Sail Orcas and Orcas Island Yacht Club hosted an advanced racing clinic on West Sound Aug. 17 through 20. Twenty-two sailors from Friday Harbor, Everett and Orcas high schools participated in the four-day clinic, which focused on boat handling, boat speed and short course collegiate style racing tactics.

Hannah Tuson-Turner, one of the Orcas teams founding members in 2001, returned to the island to head up the coaching. Tuson-Turner, alum of the University of Hawaii sailing team and a U.S. sailing level-three coach, gave excellent hands-on instruction, focusing on getting the sailors to work together in the boat, say organizers.

Sail Orcas is offering for the first time a full fall racing program for students in grades 7-12.

“September and October are great months to be out on the water,” said Tuson-Turner, who will be heading up the coaching. “The warm air temperatures are moderate winds creating a fantastic enjoyment for learning.”

From more information on the fall program, contact Hannah at hannahtt@gmail.com.
